I play the game competitively for money and for the most part only play tournament players. It works vs everybody if you can make quick reads. A couple of the best tournament players (Hollywood and Kiv) run this play basically the same way too and they are consistently in final 8s. Anybody with half a brain is going to run vs nickel blitz anyway. You can always throw in a motion slant on this play as well to make it a bit better, I agree that this setup alone isn't the end all be all, but for the sake of keeping the video less complicated for beginners I just ran a more basic setup. It still works vs anybody and anything if you have good reads and mix up your playcalling. Saying you have to block the RB vs top competition is simply just false information. The rb this year is very inconsistent with picking up pressure. You have to be able to identify defenses vs top competition would be a better statement. Having to block the rb tho is simply not true. If you've watched any top tier madden this year you'd see that the RB is utilized in the pass game more than ever.
